My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I would be hugely grateful if you could sponsor me running the marathon for the Mulberry Bush School.

All donations will definitely help me run faster, and, more importantly, this is a fantastic charity.

The Mulberry School was established in 1948, and works with some of the most distressed and vulnerable primary school age children in the country. These children have already been excluded from several schools and have usually been disrupting the community in which they live for a long time. They appear to be out of control and impossible to teach but, given their very difficult home circumstances, it is surprising that they have managed to cope for so long. The children have been neglected, physically, sexually or emotionally abused and witnessed things that no child should have to. They have had to assume excessive responsibility and, in all probability, have never experienced a stable loving home life.

 

Situated outside Oxford, the Mulberry Bush accepts up to 36 children aged 5-13 from all over England. With the great patience, reassurance and skilled care provided, these children are gradually encouraged to a stage where, possibly for the first time in their lives, they can learn to trust and respect themselves and others, to establish ordinary human relationships and to begin to learn. Their appetite for self-improvement then increases dramatically and the success rate of the school is very high. By the time they leave, two thirds of the children are ready to rejoin their community, go to local schools and live a rewarding life.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
